Feb 2 symptoms and conditions

Wow, thank you so much ladies for all the valuable information!!! I had my mirena inserted June 2009. After insertion I immediately had cramping and bleeding for over a week. Gradually came the joint pain, headaches, bloating, irritability severe lower back pain. I could go on and on,....so very sad. I chalked all my symptoms up to post partum and lack of sleep and nursing. Now it is Feb 2010 and went to my doctor with severe pelvic pain bloating, and pain in my left ovary area. I still had lower back pain but again just figured it was from pregnancy. Heres what strikes me odd.....during my intrauterine ultrasound which, was ordered to check placement of my iud and pain in ovarian area. The very polite ultrasound tech. asked me if I had IBS. WTF? She then explained to me what is was. Hmm never thought about those issues. Finally after several days of phone tag with docs office I speak with a nurse who informs me my mirena is a "little" embedded? Ok is there such a thing as a that? Embedded is embedded. After reading all these posts im very concerned about my upcoming removal in two days. Women, we need to unite!!! This is very scary. I will repost after my removal on Feb 2, 2010. Good luck and PLEASE listen to your bodies and heart!!! Your not going crazy. Its the Mirena.

I stopped taking 20mg of Lipitor for the following reasons: arm and muscle pain, wrist pain, neck and shoulder pain, knee pain, foot pain, arm weakness when raising my arms, mental fuzziness. I
Withdrawal symptoms : headache, eye ache, increased neck pain.
My goal is to see if the dosage symptoms decrease within two weeks and maybe I will try 10mg of Lipitor and see if that amount produces the same symptoms. My doctor directed me to a Rheumatologist as recent blood work showed inflammation in the arthritis panel. I am waiting to see if being off Lipitor for two weeks might reduce my arthritis symptoms .
I had a stint put in March 2008 and I am on Plavix (75mg), Lisinopril (10mg) and Lipitor (20mg).

IM trying to figure out if Boniva is causing me to have severe eczema on my hands and feet; palms and soles. I am 58 yrs old and never had this happen before. I began taking Boniva in late Nov 2007. Followed directions carefully. The first week I STARTED TO HAVE the flu like symptoms and fatigue lasted well into january and also seemed to lose a sense OF TASTE FO R FOOD AND DRINK. JAN17TH -FEB 2 GOT AN AWFUL FLU THAT LASTED ABOUT 5 DAYS. 102 FEVER, MUSCLE ACHES, PAIN, JUST AWFUL. THEN MISSED TEN DAYS AT WORK BECAUSE IT TURNED INTO A SERIOUS BRONCHIAL/ UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION- I FELT LIKE I HAD WHOOPING COUGH.THE DOC GAVE ME A REALLY STRONG ANTIBIOTIC-( CLARITHROMYCIN ) AND IT TOOK ME UNTIL MID MARCH TO FEEL LIKE MY SELF. NOTE; I HAVE NOT MISSED MORE THAN A DAY OF WORK FOR SICKNESS IN OVER TEN YEARS.)drink. The taste buds seem to have come back but WHEN I TAKE THE BONIVA PILL I FEEL FLU LIKE AGAIN- FOR ABOUT THREE-FIVE DAYS.
ALL OF THIS WAS BAD ENOUGH BUT I CHALKED IT UP TO FLU SEASON ETC' THEN IN MID MARCH I STARTED TO HAVE A TERRIBLE CASE OF ECZEMA ON THE SOLES OF MY FEET AND PALMS OF MY HANDS, IT IS REALLY CHRONIC AND VERY PAINFUL. I HAVE TO SLATHER MY HANDS AND FEET WITH VASELENE EVERY NIGHT .AND HAVE BEEN TAKING PROBIOTICS AND L-LYSINE FOR THE PAST MONTH WHICH DOES SEEMS TO BE HELPING- BUT NOW I'M WONDERING IF THE SKIN CONDITION IS A SIDE EFFECT FROM THE BONIVA? FIRST THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE CLARITHROMYCIN. BUT I HAVE A GUT FEELING ITS THE BONIVA/ ANY IDEAS?
